Installing ShopSite

You can have a ShopSite site up and running in minutes by using the Softaculous application installer in cPanel.

To install ShopSite using Softaculous, follow these steps:

1. Log in to cPanel.
   If you do not know how to log in to your cPanel account, please see this article.
2. In the Software/Services section of the cPanel home screen, click Softaculous. The Softaculous installer page appears.
3. In the Search text box, type shopsite and then press ENTER.
   Alternatively, click PERL on the top menu. From the navigation pane on the left side, click E-Commerce, and then click ShopSite.
4. Click Install. The installation page appears.
5. In the Choose Protocol list box, select the protocol.
   If you have an SSL certificate installed on your site, select https:// or https://www. If you do not have an SSL certificate installed on your site, select http:// or http://www.
6. In the Choose Domain list box, select the domain for installation, or accept the default value.
7. In the In Directory text box, type the directory where you want to install the application, or accept the default value.
   If you want your domain name to go directly to the application, make sure the In Directory text box is blank.
8. In the Web Directory text box, type the web-accessible directory for the blog. For example, if you type mysite, the blog will be accessible at http://example.com/mysite, where example.com represents your domain name.
9. In the Data Directory text box, type the directory where you want to store application data, or accept the default value.
10. In the Store ID text box, type your store ID. This is the username you use to log on to the administration page.
11. In the Admin Password text box, type the administrator password.
    Make sure that you choose a strong password! The Softaculous installer provides a ranking for your password's strength, and turns green when the password is strong. Alternatively, you can click the  icon next to the Admin Password text box, and Softaculous generates a strong, random password for you.
12. In the Admin Email text box, type the site administrator e-mail address.
13. Click the  icon to expand Advanced Options.
14. If you do not want to receive e-mail notifications when application updates are available, select the Disable Update Notifications check box.
    Webhost.Berlin strongly recommends that you receive e-mail notifications when application updates are available. Keeping your site updated helps prevent unauthorized access attempts and data loss.
15. To receive site configuration information after the installation is complete, type an e-mail address in the Email installation details to text box.
16. Review the installation options and settings, and then click Install. When installation is complete, Softaculous provides information about the application's configuration.
